My daughter will be a PNM this fall. She is coming from out of state, and intends to have recs for all 12 houses. She knows only one girl in one house, where she is a legacy. She has a good resume, and will be using her GPA from jr college summer school, because it is higher than high school. Any tips on how to have the best week possible without having any connections in any of the houses?

Are you certain this will be allowed? All of the schools I am familiar with require the high school GPA of incoming freshman. I would hate for her to be in a situation where the stated GPA on her application does not jibe with what's provided by the school or in her recommendations. Frankly, it also makes her look like she's trying to hide something.

If she went to junior college, I would assume that's her "college GPA" and supercedes her high school GPA - no matter which one is higher.

So a humdrum GPA high school GPA can be completely obliterated by a couple of underwater basket weaving classes taken at the local community college that summer?
That's not the case at the schools where I've advised. They didn't even allow second semester summer school grades taken there or at a CC count towards the GPA.

She doesn't say whether her daughter is a Freshman but if I'm reading between the lines (daughter is a freshman and took summer school) I agree with Greek_or_Greek. I believe those grades go to the college as credits only she has no university GPA so the HS transcripts is all we have to verify GPA. It might also depend on how many credits she took. I'm thinking the dd might have a low GPA and this was the way they were going to get around that by the dd taking summer school and doing well. Probably not a bad idea but I don't think it is going to work at a competitive school where they have tons of qualified high GPA girls going through.
